"A Frenchman asks the following question to a Swedish trade union delegate: “What can a worker still want in Sweden? The worker has everything, and cannot want anything more” The delegate responds: “Yes, but you can ask for a second bathroom.”
Some light humor from
this is good too, makes me wanna check out Talleyrand PRONTO!!
"An Englishwoman, impassioned by Talleyrand. We spent the afternoon trying to translate his words into English. A homework practically impossible. It would be necessary to know perfectly all languages and above all rethink every word to find the exact equivalent. The Englishwoman in question, a young woman of 25 (?), perhaps even more young man than woman, had read the biography of Duff Cooper: result, she became a Talleyrand junkie. She is in love with her cynicism. Perversity or will of independence? Vice or instrument of emancipation?" :)
It pleased me to see this on kindle, it is i believe a part of the ultra rare Notebooks, maybe that will be reissued or ALL of the Notebooks in english, multi volumed .... #dreamsofareader
